Monk Park Farm Visitor Attraction

This place has absolutely nailed it. Went with 1 yr old, 2.5yr old and 5 yr old and we found it a perfect day out for a young family. There’s so much to do. We enjoyed the petting farm, the woodland walk, the barrel ride, the pig racing! The children obviously loved the giant bouncing pillows. But overall this felt like such an organised and happy place. Found the cafe great, with a large choice of foods and a kids menu. The playgrounds were brilliant as well. We missed a bottle feeding the animals, the train ride and the foam party - so there is so much to do. It felt relaxed and ordered. Just brilliant. I hope this place is around for the long haul.

Amazing little farm well I say little it’s quite big and a lovely long walk roundPlenty of animals to feed (mind the llama) he spits and some animals greedier than others. There are rides to go on (barrel and electric cars/bike) there is also an air pillow if you’re interested but we didn’t want to take shoes off. Lovely picnic area which we used and there was pig racing later in the day. We only stayed couple of hours which was enough for us (adult and teen) but we did have a few goes on the electric bikes £1 per ride. Not laughed so much in ages. We loved the whole thing and could see a huge change since going 7 yrs previous much better and they are still working on it to make it better still

Had a holiday at Yorkshire, Monk park farm was one of the last places we visited and it was amazing, my two children loved petting the animals and feeding them, walking around and see the different animals, the bouncy pillows was a massive hit with my daughter and the huge sand pit was a hit for my son, we also enjoyed the barrel ride, food in the cafe was outstanding and very good portions for the price. Will definitely be back to visit again.

Absolutely adored our visit here! Animals are really cared for! A lot bigger than I expected. I went with my husband (I'm an animal nut) If we went with kids we could have easily spent the whole day here! Beautiful grounds, staff lovely, plenty to eat on offer, lovely I've cream, plenty for kids to do and adorable animals! Will 100% be back!

We spent a full day here enjoying the Easter activities. The kids enjoyed doing the trail and making the Easter bonnets. They particularly enjoyed being able to bottle feed the lambs and going for a ride on the barrel ride (this cost extra). I'd say we probably spent more time in the play areas than with the animals because a lot of them were sleeping or not hungry (not a complaint, it happens). The play areas were great and it was a bonus to have a mini train to ride as many times as they liked. The petting area was good and it was very clear which animals you could feed any why. The kids loved being able to stroke the guinea pigs and it was reassuring to see that the guinea pigs could retreat when they'd had enough of being stroked, and also that the sessions were kept short so that they could have a rest.We ate in the cafe, which was nowhere near big enough for the amount of people visiting. The tables were so close together that it was impossible to get round because there was no space for pushchairs. It was probably a 25 minute queue to order (and we got in before the lunch rush), but once we'd ordered the food came pretty fast. There was also only one set of toilets right by the entrance, which wasn't enough for the size of the place or number of people.

I visited with my family. We had a lovely time, the staff were great. There were lots of animals to see. Great park and bounce pads, lovely walk through the woods. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Staff were lovely and keen to ensure we enjoyed our day. The animals were all very clean as were their enclosures and all seemed very happy and well cared for. Love the goat area. Plenty to see and although the rain meant we didn't make use of all the facilities there was plenty to do too. Cafe was also lovely. Would recommend
